Not sure how this is correct, because your not declaring it in a resourcedictionary – MyKuLLSKI Jan 31 '12 at 15:40
@MyKuLLSK - The question was about declaring it in a resource dictionary, not about declaring the resource dictionary itself. – ZombieSheep Jan 31 '12 at 15:54

@ZombieSheep - That doesn't make seance. He already answered his own question then – MyKuLLSKI Jan 31 '12 at 16:00
I assumed he had enough brain to write `` himself :-) – Claus Jørgensen Jan 31 '12 at 19:49
This answer is correct! I needed to declare it inside resourcedictionary. I also tried as Claus answered, but was receiving an error. I blamed declaring of Converter, but in real the error was because of wrong using of TemplateBinding with Converter. – giacoder Feb 01 '12 at 10:11

Add this in App.xaml

  <Application.Resources>
    <ResourceDictionary>
        <ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
            <ResourceDictionary>
               <BooleanToVisibilityConverter x:Key="BooleanToVisibilityConverter"/>
            </ResourceDictionary>
        </ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
     </ResourceDictionary>
  </Application.Resources>

Actually this implies that it's in the application resources. Could also be in a external file. (And you forgot the namespace) – Claus Jørgensen Jan 31 '12 at 20:07
Um NO. I didn't!! WPF has a built in BoolToVisibilityConverter...If your going to talk trash about my answer you better be correct – MyKuLLSKI Jan 31 '12 at 20:08
And look at the BOLD it says add this to App.xaml – MyKuLLSKI Jan 31 '12 at 20:09
